Show Summary
Donny has committed an act that shocked everyone. Tabloids called him The Most Hated Boy alive. But Donny doesn't want forgiveness. All Donny wants is… his own television show.
Evening Standard Award nominated director David Mercatali (BLUE HEART, CARGO) and playwright Philip Ridley (MERCURY FUR, DARK VANILLA JUNGLE) reunite for this tour-de-force. Powered by a Stage Award winning performance from Sean Michael Verey (PRAMFACE, RADIANT VERMIN), TONIGHT WITH DONNY STIXX is a compelling one man show about our obsession with celebrity and the dangers of delusion.
Written by Time Out, Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle Award winner Philip Ridley. Directed by Evening Standard Award nominee and Fringe First winner David Mercatali.
Originally produced by Supporting Wall at Pleasance Courtyard. This production is generously supported by Arts Council England and the Unity Theatre Trust.
